NIGP 96375: Scholarships

NIGP 96375 Scholarships, an Item code, addresses direct financial aid to students for educational expenses, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code is not present in the available opportunities data. Without posted solicitations or contract records in the dataset, the current market signal cannot be characterized by issuing-body type, geographic concentration, or representative recent work.

State and local governments do procure scholarship administration services—including application management, fund distribution, compliance tracking, and recipient verification—but those activities may be categorized elsewhere in NIGP taxonomy or handled through direct appropriations rather than competitive procurement. Practitioners pursuing this space should monitor state higher-education agencies, education foundations, and workforce-development authorities for scholarship-related RFPs and RFQs, as activity patterns and procurement thresholds vary significantly by jurisdiction.
